Game 005 [Voice] - Call the Bluff

[ The feed begins with a soft giggling. ]

It's so obviously a trap that you can't help but spring it. So, I'm curious. Where does everyone think this gate really leads? Let's see whose guess is closest.

[ That too, but a certain protective Composer is starting to get paranoid about his city. He is not about to admit this. ]

I'm curious to see just how scary these big bad Malnosso are.

...I'm thinking of going with you. There's a decent chance it's no trap -- also a decent chance we'll end up dead or tortured or something, but hey. There might be a lot to learn from the way these Malnosso guys operate, and for Shibuya, it's sure worth it.

You know, all these years, I never really thought of you as the type to risk yourself over anything.

Did you? [ pause. ] Gambling's always risky, Josh. Stakes have been a little higher than usual lately, that's all.

[neverplaysfair]

Yes, but you were always the type to work things from behind the scenes.

I suppose you just don't have much choice in this place.

Pfft, don't think I'll just be hopping on through as soon as this portal shows up. Just saying there's a chance it's the real deal. [ He's not sure he'll be hopping through at all, not yet. Better to test it first, to play it with a proxy... which may or may not involve convincing Josh to give it a shot. ]

The thought didn't even cross my mind.
